Properties
Cobalt effects rapid surface drying. In conjunction with cobalt, barium improves through-drying. At the same time it prevents the adsorption of primary drier, thereby increasing drier stability during long-term storage. Zirconium acts as an active auxiliary drier. It improves both through-drying and surface drying.
The balanced ratio of the various metal contents of Octa-Soligen® 173 yields optimum results in initial drying and through-drying. As a result of the action of the barium, this drier has excellent drier stability, rendering use of additional drier stabilisers unnecessary except in the case of critical pigment Systems.
Paints incorporating Octa-Soligen® 173 are characterised by better drying times particularly at high atmospheric humidity and low temperatures.
Octa-Soligen® 173 is of low viscosity, is easy to use and is specifically suited to light-colored paint systems and automotive refinishing paint.
